Equipment

Ingredients

  • 300 g (1 ¼ cups) raw prawns peeled, cleaned and finely chopped
  • 5 g (0.18 oz) ginger peeled and finely grated
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 egg white
  • 4 slices white bread (I use thick sliced toastie bread)
  • 50 g (⅓ cup) sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or spray oil)

To serve (optional):

  • sweet chilli sauce
  • light soy sauce
  • 2 spring onions finely sliced, to garnish

Instructions

  • Put the finely chopped prawns into a bowl, then add the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and egg white. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
  • Spoon a quarter of the prawn mixture onto each slice of bread. Spread to ensure you get all the mixture to the edge of each slice.
  • Put the sesame seeds onto a plate, take one of the slices of bread and place it prawn mixture side facing down so that the sesame seeds will stick to it. Repeat with the three other slices.
  • Preheat the air fryer for 7 minutes at 200C. Using a knife, carefully slice the pieces of bread into four triangles.
  • Carefully place the triangles into the air fryer. Make sure they're well-spaced apart - you may need to cook the toasts in 2 batches.
  • Brush or spray vegetable oil over the top each prawn toast, then air fry at 190C for 8 minutes. Check after 5 minutes to ensure the toasts aren’t burning. Depending on your model of air fryer, it's worth keeping an eye on it. If you like them crispy, 8 minutes should be fine!
  • Serve either on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice, and garnish with sliced spring onions.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Spicy version - add chilli paste, sriracha or chopped fresh red chilli to the prawn mixture.
    • Extra aromatics - add finely sliced spring onions, chopped coriander or lime zest to the prawn mixture.
    • Bread swaps - try brioche for richness, thin cut sourdough or gluten-free bread.
  • This easy air fryer prawn toast recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
